A new modified diesel engine capable of running on any decarbonized liquid fuel is expected to significantly increase demand for corn ethanol.
BJ Johnson, co-founder and CEO of ClearFlame Engine Technologies based in Geneva, IL tells Brownfield they can take a traditional heavy duty diesel engine for a semi or tractor and get it to run on ethanol with no loss of performance.
“There are about 4 million semi trucks on the road in the United States and every 1% or about every 40,000 trucks or so would require another billion gallons of ethanol.
